So I ordered a tiny silicone troll baby from eBay. User had great reviews, everything checked out. It comes in the mail today. I was happy with how fast it shipped. I open this box up, and am immediately hit with a sickening, dollar store perfume? scent. Like the seller was desperately trying to cover up the smell of smoke, perhaps? As I’m digging out all these strange little hand made doll items(that I wasn’t aware came with the doll)… for example tiny underwear made from men’s underwear(And they looked dingy ), I notice there’s sort of an oily substance on my hand… Well a few minutes later my hands are on fire… and then my eyes. I have a rash/hives on both hands, extending up my forearms. It’s also on my face. It’s been over an hour, and I’m still on fire. I really need to use the restroom, but the spine tingling fear is real. AND THE CONFETTI! I almost forgot to mention the confetti! EVERYWHERE! Everywhere there’s confetti! I feel like I attended a really bad party. The doll is cute, but I just can’t. I kind of feel violated. I know that’s a little extreme to say. I can’t help it… Today is not my day.
So so sorry you are dealing with this! What a shame Eww! Oh my goodness!! That is so awful! The dirty used underwear just threw it over the edge!!! Wow
Omg, I’d be freaking out! Id probably throw the whole box away and get right in the shower!! You never know now a days, it could be something put in there with cruel intentions! Scary!!
What can I say? I’m a men’s underwear expert. Haha! They were tightie whities…
Oh really?
Trust me. I showered. Yet, I still feel filthy… Good news though! I’m no longer on fire. Just at a nice simmer… I’m hoping to be done cooking in time for dinner! You just got to laugh.
Well I asked the seller… No response yet of course. I’m thinking you’re right though. I used to be a massage therapist, and during the course on essential oils I had a similar reaction. Ugh!
That is what i was thinking too I bet it is essential oil of some type. Some of those are really strong.
Oh no! Glad you are better. I agree with @sonyasbubs Trolls are supposed to be dirty, lol! Can we see pretty please! I am working on Barnabe and I want that reaction, not the pain, that you had - dirty Troll…I mean clean clothes but dirty looking.
OMG so so cute! You better find your gloves. Did she come with all of those outfits?
Yep. The only ones I’m going to bother trying to salvage. I like crochet too much to see that go to waste. It was all the weird extra stuff that got me. Clothing made out of used socks and underwear… Good gravy!
Seller did get back to me. It was “aroma paper” she had purchased off of eBay. I’ve never heard of it before, but I do know I never want to touch it again. She was really sweet and apologized. She’s sending me some more clothes. Oatmeal bath eased the rash/hives anyway. What’s a near death experience every now and again? Now if I could just get the confetti off of my carpet…
Wait a minute… I don’t know if I want more clothes… Haha!
Never heard of it either. Yay, more clothes!
But on the bright side,the baby troll is adorable.Love the middle picture.
Lol!!!
Well I wanted to see the tiny dingy underwear!
Bwaa ha ha!
What an awful experience! The baby is cute!
